Major Richard Bache.
Inquiries have been made from time
to time with regard to Hon. Richard
liache, a veteran of the Texas revolu
tion, who died in the city of Austin, in
March, 1848, where he was in attend-
ance at the legislature as senator from
Galveston county. He came to Texas
in 1836, in command of some volunteers
from Mississippi, in which state he had
then be«n for some time as a member
of the family of Hon. Robert J. Walker,
whose wife was a daughter of Major
Bache. He was the son of Richard
Bache, a merchant of Philadelphia, an
Englishman by birth, but an ardent
patriot of the American revolution,
who was postmaster general of the
colonies from 1776 to 1782 He died
id 1811. The mother of Major Bache
was Sarah, the only daughter of the
celebrated Dr. Franklin, who died in
1808 During the revolution she headed
a movement of ladies to supply the
soldiers with clothing and other neces-
saries, and at one time employed more
than two thousand women in sewing
for the army. She also took the
lead in measures for supplying
the hospitals for soldiers. The
Marquis of Castellua, who saw her
at Philadelphia, recommended her as an
example for the imitation of the ladies
of Europe, both in patriotism and the
domestic virtues. Major Bache was the
father of the famous scientist Alexan-
der Dallas Bache, and a brother to Dr.
B. F. Bache, born in 1801, and still
alive. The latter graduated at Prince
ton college in 1819 and the University
of Pennsylvania in 1823; was a surgeon
in the navy many years; then a pro
feasor in Kenyon college while on fur-
lough; some years fleet surgeon in the
Mediterranean and Brazil squadrons
From 1855 to 1871 he was in charge of
the laboratory at New York, from
which were supplied the appurtenances
of the medical department of the navy.
During the war ha wis placed on the
retired list, but in 1871 he was pro-
moted to be medical director, with the
relative rank of commodore. Vice
President Dallas married a sister of the
doctor and Bache. The latter
commanded a troop of horse in the
war of 1812-14 and was at one time
postmaster of Philadelphia.
Ex Mayor Brown, of 8t Louis, pub
lishes a letter in the Memphis Awilanchf,
in which he charges Capt. Eads with
an attempt to bribe him with $5000
jetty 8'ock to get his personal and oifi
cial sanction to the scheme. The Ava
laneKe --ays:
The country has been flooded with puffs of
the letty works; the avenues of public op n-
ion from the Sou h Pass have been occupied
by Cap*. Eads's forces; he has t»k n posses
sior. of tbe mail route and the telegr ipn lines
from tde jety works to the re«to he world;
he has manage *, by extraordinary special
legislation, to place th^ d-partm^nt of the
gov rnment at Washing'on at the mercy of
the jetty company he has mat aged to ex-
clude the officers of the engineer corps from
inspecting th« work, he h*s manipulated
every responsible officer out of his line of
duties, so that as far as the jetty works are
concerned, Capt. Bads and bis company are
judge, advocates and witnesses.
The northern Texas editors have to
clip so many complimentary notices of
Throckmorton from each other's pa
pers that the editorial shears nee 1 a
new rivet every few days. This ex-
plains the depression of the hardware
trade. The rivets are bought on credit.
There is such a political pressure on
the columns of our country exchange 8
that the many noble qualifies of head
and heart of the happy peasant who
brings in & dropsical watermelon for
the editor's table are but ligh )y
touched on.
It was a child's idea that the old
moons were cut up to make little stars,
but ex-congressional candidates may
make first-rate justices of the peace.

STATE PRESS.
The Greenville Independent, noticing a re-
mark In another paper, says of Hon. John
Hancock:
Hancock is a very able man and wielded
great influence in congress. If the people of
t e Fifth district desire to subserve the be»t
interests of the state they will send him
hack.
The Pittsburg Magnet alludes to the fence
question, and says:
The fence® of this county are worth more
than all the stock owned by her cit zens, and
it costs more to keep up the fences than it
would to feed the stock. Why, then, not do
away with the fences and save the people
from a great and unnecessary expense?
The Franklin Herald wants candidates for
the legislature to give their views on the
questions " how to reduce taxes without be-
ing detrimental to the public good, and how
to collect the same with the least delay con-
sistent with the interest of the people who
pay them;" also their views on the dog t*x,
smoke-house tax, fostering domestic maoufac
turee; what action is necessary to make rail
roads and other corporations comply with their
charters; the state police, frontier battalion,
public schools, the collection of poll taxes, and
many other changes or improvements needed
in the organic Jaw.
An interior paper quotes Dr. Johnson's de-
claration that Lord Chesterfield's system of
politeness was calculated to combine the man-
ners of a dancing master with the morals of
a courtesan; but there are certain matters of
polite behavior that ought to be preserved,
nevertheless. For example, another paper
says tbe impertinence of askiBg a mature
single lady her age may be forgiven, but to
ask a society "colonel " the number of his
regiment or date of his service is a thing not
to be endured.
The Br^nham Banner say a: "For able-bodied
lying Harper's Weekly is ahead of all competi-
tors." Just now the Victoria Advocate has,
and wields the little hatchet as the champion
of truth, though it would seem a little too
r'gid as regards the practice of veracity by
drummers for tride. It says:
When a person condescends to manufacture
and circulate a deliberate falsehood against a
whole community f«»r the purpose cf influenc-
ing the ordinary channels of trade, in the
hope of increasing bis own business, he musf
expect to find himself »t sword's point with
those who suffer from his conduct.
Like tve muscular preacher who proclaimed
that he was ready to take a hand himself at
t>>e little game threatened by the guerrillas,
the Advocate threatens retaliation:
The Advocate wi'l at once take the proper
step^ to have the mat" er righted, and if we
once commence the merited castigation the
contest can have but one ending «o far as we
are concerned We may take a notion to
heave a few bricks ourself.
8uch is the regard for truth o'the vkfco-
rate'hat it is shocked to find even an editor
charged with falsehood. It remarks:
G*il Hamilton has caught a relfg'ous editor,
or rather the editor of a religious journal, in
a lie Thip, we believe, is the first instance
on record of an editor ever attempting te tell
an untruth, and we hope he will be severe y
punished.
The last remark shows that the Advocate
at least sticks to the truth. Then it denounces
another offender:
Th« gentleman that says it never rains in
Texas is a liar and a horse-thief.
The Advocate *ays:
In the ev«n*. of a lock in th<* state conven-
tion western Texas will lead the way by
transferrins? her votes and influence to J dge
Devine. of Bexar. In no event can any other
ird vidual concantrat=e the vote of this sec
tion. and it is believed thaf, as a compromise
candidate. Devine will develop puffi^ient,
strength to easily secure his nomination, in
case the present chief executive fails to re-
ceive the requisite two-thirds.
The Navasota Tablet says:
In 'alls and other counties of Texas t*e
Greenbackers have formed a coalition with
the Radica' negro party for the county -am
oaign, aDd a similar course on the part of the
G^eenbackers of Grimes county has been pre-
dicted
The Victoria Advocate reports the following
somewhat unusual law case:
At the present term of t^e county court for
the trial of misdemeanors, which bearan sit
tins- on Monday, the case against Mr. William
Coffin, of Iodlanola, charged with the illegal
berd^ng of cattle upon land belonging to an-
other, against the said owner's expressed will,
came up for trial. The state made out a clear
case, and the defendant was fined one dollar
an hour for the eleven hours he had so held
the cattle in violation of the rights of the
owner of the land The stock belonged, we
believe, to Messrs. Coleman, Mathis & Fulton,
and Mr. Coffin was simply in charge, awaiting
the arrival of cars for shipment
The Gatesvlll® Sun also reports a trial
somewhat out of the ordinary limits of judi-
cial proceedings:
Last Wednesday three young men were
t-ied before the maycr of Gatesville on a
oharge of violating th* l*w by playing pool
between the hours of 9 and 4 Sunday last. The
jury thought that no harm had been done and
decide*1 accordingly.
Among the undecided problems which di-
vide the papers, is the question whether In-
dians or Indian agents are the worst speci-
mens of humanity. Only very strong de-
baters should tackle this question.
The Bonham News advises the delegates in
the state convention to keep sober. Does
that paper consider a delegate no better than
a congressman?
The News-Boy reports that Jasp°r does not
even find rest by day from the deafening
tones of the brass band. That paper says the
boys practice daily, to the infinite disgust of
the citizens and business men in their near
vicinity, and it heard or e irate and long suffer
ing individual threaten seriously, a few d±ys
ago, to abate the youngsters as a nuisance.
People who have no music in their souls
should retire to the country. The brass band
mania is now the prevailing one in Texas; the
bass drum has taken the place of base ball,
and is seriously contesting the ground with
the pulpit. The courts will have to decide
whether Sunday music is liable to the charge
of disturbing religious exercises. The Deni-
Bon Herald reports an issue of the »ort in that
city. Rev M. A. Dougherty and his congre-
tion objected to the proceedings on 8unday
evenings in the public park, including the
noise of the brass band, as calculated to dis-
turb "the quiet and sanotity of the Sabbath "
The Herald takes sides with the band, while it
would protect the pious in the enjoyment of
religious exercises. That paper says :
As to music desecrating the Sabbath, we
must say that we can not conceive how that
is possible. There is no wrong in music; it is
elevating and ennobling in its tendencies. It
occupies no me^n place when brought into
comparison with religion.
Music the fiercest grief can charm;
And fate's severest rage disarm.
Music can soften pain to ease.
And make desrair and madness please;
Our j>ys below it can Improve,
And antedate the bliss above.
This may be tolerable poetry for the aver
age local; but it seems to take all the prover-
bial license of the poet in matters of fact as
well as of style. The old story of curing
spider bites by music has been exploded, and
as a curative agent, (" music can soften pain
to ease,") Perry Davis's Pain KHler can beat
it two to one in the cucumber and green fruit
season.
The Nsws having contained a translation
from the Houston German Gazette, in which
the senseless rage of the Galveston Post
agaiost Gov. Hubbard was deprecated, the
last named journal accuses the Gazette of be-
ing envious. The editor of the Gazette is in a
brown study over the matt; r. He finds it
diffl 'ult to conceive what there is about the
Post that is calculated to excite envy. Says
the Gazette:
Are we supposed to be envious of the vast
po'itical influence which the Post has not got,
or of the nersonal e-teem which the editors
of the Post enjoy neither in Galveston nor else-
where ? • s far as we know, the representa-
tives of the German press the stat- over are
accorded admission to the various clubs and
associations of rht irrespective re*iden *es But
the ed'tors and proprietors of the Post with
<>ne exception, are denied admissloa to the
Galveston local organizations, because th^ir
presence would not be tolerated, and yet we
are supposed to envy the gentlemen who in-
flict on the public their second * and filching*
from the News? The idea is too exquisitely
humorous not to laugh over.

Fruit Fayette County.
Fayettk County, July 11, 1878—
Eds. Mews : I find in your paper, in a
well-written article by your corre
spondent, "N. A. T.," the following
passage;
" But—I must not forget to state it—
Payette county is badly behind in the
article of fruits. I see no good peaches
or apples in the county, and no cul-
tivated grapes. This is bad for so ex-
cellent and progressive a population
Here is a grand field for Watson, of
Brenham, and Whitaker, of Houston.
The reason of this backwardness prob-
ably is that the count/y around here
has no railroad. n. a. t "
While it is to be regretted that old
Fayette county is greatly behind wbs.t
she should be with her fruit cultivation,
still she is far ahead of what N. A. T.
sets her down. If that gentleman had
traveled through the rural districts of
the county, he would soon have dis-
covered his eiror. Mr. John D. Hunt,
a thrifty young farmer a few m lea
north of La Grange, has quite an or-
chard of young apple trees loaded down
with beautiful, well-developed fruit.
Then, if he had gone into the thrifty
seighborhood of Fayetteville and
called upon Mr. J. M. Hill he would
have beheld a vineyard of no ordinary
dimensions; and from its great variety
of the best selected foreign importa-
tions, loaded down with hanging, large
bunches of luscious, juicy, succulent
grapes, and juu dropped a few of them,
as I did, into his mouth, he would have
went away—especially if he had visited
the interesting family residing there—
in a better humor to write more sweetly
about fruits in Fayette county.
There is all through the county among
our German and Bohemian population
a number of small vineyards of choice
tame grapes. If he had visited the ar-
tistically laid-out and cultivated shrub-
bery of Col. Alexander McDjw, aod
the garden and orchard annexed there
to, he would at once supposed himself
transferred into a small earthly Paradise
—apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes
and a vaiiety of other fruits too te-
dious to mention, all of best importa-
tions.
Then a little above, at Winchester,
Mr. Julius Roesch and Mr. Paul
Haschker have very fine vineyards.
Mr. George Simon and Col. N. Thomas
have apples, peaches, plums and
grapes, while Mr. James Young, one of
our best farmers and merchants, has
splendid peaches and plums. Mr. Wm.
Drisdale, six miles above La Grange,
has a splendid vineyard of choice
grapes, with other fruit. Major J. C.
Stubbling, near the Bastrop line, has a
good orchard. Ia fact, there are good
peaches nearly all over the county.
There is in addition to the foregoing
a flourishing nursery carried on near
Flatonia, in this county. 8o we are
not entirely dependent on other coun
ties for " fruits and fl >wers."
The preparations to combat the rav-
ages of the mighty pest, the army worm,
are on a large and grand scale. I never
saw the masses of the people so com
pletely united on any one subject as
this fight against tbe cotton destroyers.
Politics are at the " blue heat " now.
Jones and the nominee will soon " lock
horns," and then for a clash of arms.

LFrom the Republican, July 16 ]
The temperature appears to be (till
on the up-grade, and nearly everybody
was satisfied that yesterday was the
hottest day yet. Thermometers about
town ranged from 97 to 105 in the
shade, according to circumstances. In
the court-house, in places where the
sun never reaches, the thermometer
stood at 96 and 97 in the hottest part of
the day. The higher registers were in
more exposed situations. At the signal
office, which is high up in the air, the
highest register reached was 97 degrees,
which was the same as on Saturday.
On Sunday the temperature was one
degree lower. The first really hot day
was on the 4th of July, when the ther-
mometer indicated at the signal station
87 degrees. On the cay previous it was
only 76. On the 5th it was 86; fl'.h, 85;
7th, 87; 8 b, 89; 9;h, 93; 10th, 94; 11th,
95; 12ih, 961; 13-h, 97; 14-.h, 96. and
loth, 97. It will be seen that from the 4'h
there was a fall of one degree per day
for three days, and after that a steady
increase until Saturday. Yesterday
was the first day since the hot weather
set in that there was any breeze, and
there was but little yesterday. The
wind whiffled about between south and
southwest, when there was any at all;
and at a few favored locations indoor*
the temperature was quite endurable at
these times. Most of the day, however,
there was a complete lull, and people
who had to pass about the streets did so
panting and perspiring, shading them-
selves with umbrellas and making futile
efforts to raise a little breeza with fans.
Notwithstanding the publications in
the papers regarding precautions to be
taken, not all paid attention to them.
Occasionally a man could be found
with a cabbage leaf or wet silk hand-
kerchief in his hat, but nona carried
"bricks " A noticeable fact was that,
those who wore thin clothing seemed to
suffer more from the heat than those who
were clothed in woolens. Almost all
who had on light cotton or linen coats
looked as if their backs had been
drenched with buckets of water. The
numtier of cases of overheating treated
at the dispensary was much greater
than on any preceding day. During
the forenoon, however, very few of
these cases were of a serious nature.
Many of them were rather amusing than
alarming. Quite a number of both
women and men
were evidently victims of fright rather
than any serious affection They had
read the reports in the newspapers, and
as soon as they happened to feel a little
out of sorts they promptly succumbed,
and obtained transportation to the dis
pensary as quickly as possible. The first
souse of ice water brought all such
patients up standing in short,
order, and they were pronounced cured
and allowed to go their ways, with the
advice to keep on the shady side of the
street. Their rage at the treatment fre-
quently resulted in belligerent demon
titrations, whereat the doctors decided
the symptoms to indicate a relapse, and
more copious applications of ice water
usually completed the cure Of all the
violently disposed drunks and disorder
lies not one has been found who could
make much of a fight against the water
The great majority of those brought in
during the morning were men and
women who had
taken a drr'i" too much,
and had been picked up before becom-
ing dangerously affected. Many an old
s iak who gets his fill of liquor crawls
into an alley and lies down for a snooze.
Of course the vigilant patrolmaa on
i he beat soon discovers him and if the
snoozer will not awake for one or two
smart slaps from the club on the soles
of his feet, the officer concludes it is a
cue of sunstroke and hustles his mau
to the dispensary as quickly as possible.
About two minutes under the douche
usually straightens up all such cases.
Ntarly twenty patients of these classes
were braced up and sent away before
1 o'clock. Shortly after that a number
of mure serious ones were brought for
treatment. The total number treated
f ir sunstroke was considerably higher
tian in any other day ever known since
the establishment of the dispensary.
For hours—in fact, nearly the whole
diy through—there were trom four to
seven cases on the cots at once. As
fast as it was deemed safe the patients
were sent home or to the hospitals
The ambulances were kept busier
than ever, and the dispensary force be
gin3 to show plainly the effects of the
hard work. Even little Kate, the tire-
less janitress, who has been game from
the first, sat down last evening ana
said she was " played aut."
the mortality.
The total number of burial permits
issued for deaths resulting from direct
effect of the heat has reached 70. Of
these 17 were issued Sunday and 33 yes
terday. A large proportion of the num
ber issued yesterday were for deaths
which occurred Sunday. The number
of certificates of deaths from all causes
issued yesterday was 75, the highest
known in a single day for some years. The
health department records show some
curious facts in relation to sun strokes.
It would appear that the sun's rays
shite with fatal effect only every other
year, which may be another illustration
of the old saying, "There's luck in odd
numbers " Taking the official report
of the board of health for tbe past ten
years, it is found that in 1868 the total
number of certificates of death from
sunstroke was 31 In 1870 it was 20
In 1872, 49; 1874 29; 1876, 20; 1878.
(the last three days,) 70 la the odd
years the number varies from nothing
to two, three, etc , the highest being
eight. Perhaps Prof. Tice can explain
this circumstance.
apropos of the heat.
Yesterday was a terrible day on
horses, especially those unfortunate
enough to have engagements to draw
street cars. On tbe various lines all
over the city they were falling down
helpless from time to time, althcugb
the railroad companies were doing all
they could to protect them. All the
lines had men stationed at short inter-
vals with buckets of water and sponges,
and each passing car was stopped and
the heated animals cooled off as well as
water could do it. The horses, how
ever, in most instances objected to the
treatment, and resisted as far as they
could. But some of tbe old stagers ac-
cepted it at least patiently, but showed
no signs of liking it. It is well known
that a great many car-horses have died
from the heat within a few days, and a
Repub ican reporter yesterday endeav-
ored to ascertain the losses of the dif-
ferent companies, but all when ques-
tioned on the subject were reticent and
seemed unwilling to give informa ion.
Unprecedented Effects ot tba Heat.
From the limes, July 16th: Another
day of a heated term,for appalling effect
unprecedented, has passed away, and
the sun rises this morning to resume
with even greater intensity a work of
pain, suffering and sore distress upon a
community sickened beyond endurance
by the continuous blaze and broil and
stew of the past week. The ordeal to
which 8t. Louis is exposed at this time
can only be thoroughly understood by
a careful perusal of tbe columns below,
which furnish an accurate account of
all the cases of sunstroke and attendant
affliction brought to the notice of the
board of health and police authorities
every hour during the day. The terri-
ble list speaks for itself, and but one
conclusion can be reached in this hour
of a city's distress; that unless a change
speedily sets in, the denths will not be
counted by the two or three score, but
by the thousands. The highest mortal-
ity rate was reached yesterday, when
forty-five burial permits were issued, all
the cases having resulted from overheat.
Apart from the fatal cases are those
which have been treated with partial
success by the medical men, and under
that heading several hundred have to be
added to the list of yesterday's distress-
es. In private residences, stores, banks,
hotels, in the shade of warehouses, the
victims of tbe terrible heat were found
yesterday stricken down to the border
of death. On the public streets men and
women fell like cattle before the boiling
sun, and the ambulnnce wagons were
to be sean at every corner removing
prostrate forms to the dispensary. Tne
physioians throughout the city have
thcii full attending to the sick at
their homes, and at the public depart-
ment* the doctors, nurses and assistants
are doing a noble work. Indeed, noth-
ing is left undone at the dispensary and
the hospital to restore the victims of
the blood fever, and the excellent sys-
tem pursued saves the lives of hun-
dreds smitten by the aun. To-day the
turning point is expected to be reached,
and a great city looks with hope and
fear for the developments of the next
few hours.
at the dispensary.
The scene about the dispensary yes-
terday was not unlike that of a military
hospital after a battle. Two or three
ambulances were kept busy all day long
bringing in sunstruck people from dif-
ferent portions of the city , and a great
many were brought in private convey-
ances. Several extra cots had been re-
ceived early in the morning from the
different hospitals, and a force of extra
physicians and nurses were on hand to
assist Drs. Robinson and Luedeking in
caring for the patients. The hospital
part of the dispensary had been enlarg-
ed by removing the south screen about
half way down the hall. A great
crowd of men and children stood all day
long on the sidewalk at the south end
of the hall, but they were not allowed
to come up the steps, and only physi-
cians, policemen, members of the mu-
nicipal assembly, board of health, re-
porters and persons about the place
wete admitted into the hospital depart
ment. The open courtyard at the north
end of the hall was pretty well filled
with people in the afternoon, but ropes
stretched across the court from wall to
wall on both sides of the et Vance pre-
vented them from blocking up the door
and keeping out the breeze Some
thirty-odd cases were treated there dur-
ing the day, more than twice as many
as were rtceived at the dispensary the
day before. All classes and kinds of
people were represented among the
patients, women and children as well
as men, negroes as well as white peo-
ple, laborers and professional men, res-
idents of St. Louis and strangers never
in tne city before, drunkards and tem-
perance people, book-keepers, mer-
chants, mechanics, teamsters and roust-
abouts; and Germans, Irishmen, Ital-
ians, Englishmen and Americans.
The financial pressure is becoming
unendurable It is impossible for the
people to procure money to meet their
most necessary expenses. The father
of a large family in New York was un-
able to raise money enough to pay a
two dollar and a half fine which was
imposed on his favorite son for tying a
tin kettle to a dog's tail.
FROM BOSQUE COUNTY.
Clstrlet Court— Uilla In the County.
[Special Correspondence of tbe News.]
Meridian, Tbx., July 16 —The dis-
trict court for this county convened
yesterday, his honor, Judge Prendei-
gaat, presiding. As yet the coutt has
not tried any criminal cases. Several
important murder cases will, however,
come up during the term. Judge
Prendergast is an able, impartial
judge, and very popular in his dis-
trict.
Hon. R >ger Q Mills slipped in upon
us yesterday, and addressed a large and
appreciative audience to day at the
court-house, giving an account of his
stewardship. He was heartily ap
plauded at the conclusion of his
speech. He leaves to morrow morn-
ing for Waco. The impression here is
that he will be " the dark horse," and
quietly carry off the gubernatorial
nomination, while Tbrock, Hubbard,
et al., are fighting over it. The people
of this portion of the state would sup-
port Milli against anybody else, for any
office, from constable to president.
